Given that none of the standard kernel idioms to prevent races in
this kind of code are present, I would be very surprised if it
was not racy.
- inode->i_sem is not taken to protect inode->i_size.
- After successfully allocating a page, a test is not made to see if
another process with the same mapping has allocated the page first.
